(Yes, sane, I'm already crazy.) I have either forgotten the source of, or totally imagined the existance of, a quote; to make matters worse, I don't even know all the words. BUT! the general idea of it is: "Alas - so much for [name]!" I think that it's from Shakespeare, but seriously, I have no idea. Can anybody help me?

You must have heard, not read this, since the exact quote is: A lass! So much for George Jorgensen. From the press release concerning the first sex change operation.

So much for George Jorgensen. Perhaps the line you are trying to recall, gonoldothrond, is: ”Alas, poor Yoric! I knew him, Horatio.” - Hamlet Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Don't expel me! #134622 10/27/2004 8:22 PM Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 2 janeslogin stranger janeslogin stranger Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 2 Are you thinking of "Alas, poor Yorick!
